AM2's Search Engine... Can't Post
 
Is there anyway to tell AM2 or its search engine where the article begins and where it ends and it should only search for keywords in article content/body area?

We've got non-AM2 content displaying on where the published articles are and whenever you search for certain keyword, AM2 displays all articles because it is searching ALL of the article page rather than the body...

Example:
http://www.defencetalk.com/cgi-bin/news/search.cgi

Search for JF-17 keyword. There are about 40-50 articles that mention JF-17 yet it displays result for almost every article. Crazy

Solution?

Well, the first page looks right.

I think what's going on is the keyword isn't being passed forward in the "next >>" link.

Try editing your "templates/searchEngine/searchResults.html" template. Near the bottom there will some templateIf tags and long links that start with "$settings.searchurl$?". Right after the ? in the link add the following:

keyword=$form.keyword:urlEncoded$&

So it should look something like this:
<a href="$settings.searchurl$?keyword=$form.keyword:urlEncoded$&action=...

Then try your search again and see if the right results are coming up on the second page this time.
